Arm and hands
Make 2.

The reason why you want an extra long tail is so that you can use part of the tail to finish the arm (see below) and then to sew the arm onto the body later.
Finish arm: Thread the long yarn tail onto a needle and fold the long rectangle in half lengthwise and sew the sides together. Once sewn together, don't cut off the extra yarn tail. Leave that on so that you can sew your arm onto the body later.
Make another. You should have 2 in total.

Weave in starting tail.
Make another, you need 2 wings in total.
Putting It together
Using pearl head pins, position your arms under the collar of your angel's body on opposite sides.
After this, turn your angel over so that the back is facing up. Using pearl head pins, pin the wings onto the angel into a position you like. Make sure that the short edges of the wings touch (so there is no gap between the wings). This will make your angel look neater.
When you are happy with the position of the wings, and arms, sew them in place using the long tails you left on each piece.
Optional: you can sew the angels hands together so it looks like she is praying.
Finally, weave in any ends.
